The 2009 Women's British Open was held 30 July – 2 August at Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club in Lancashire, England. It was the 33rd Women's British Open and the ninth as a major championship on the LPGA Tour. Catriona Matthew won her only major, three strokes ahead of runner-up Karrie Webb.[2][3]

It was the fourth Women's British Open at Royal Lytham and the third as an LPGA major, most recently in 2006. The course had also hosted ten Open Championships, most recently in 2001. The par-72 course was set by the Ladies Golf Union at 6,492 yards (5,936 m),[1] 413 yards (378 m) shorter than the par-71 set-up for The Open Championship in 2001.

Matthew became the first Scot to win the title, just eleven weeks after giving birth to her second child in mid-May.[2][3]
